The Public Works department works hard to ensure safe driving conditions on Township roads during the winter.

From November 1 to March 31, we perform daily road patrols to monitor conditions and prepare responses to winter events. Our crews use a snow clearing schedule that is based on a road priority system. Sanding/salting and plowing begin on high-use roadways and then moves to residential streets. We also monitor various weather information sources for a consistent forecast to plan operational responses.

Less than 8 cm of snow

We begin sanding/salting operations and/or scraping of roads if required. Priority is given to arterial roads, hills and some collector roads.

Greater than 8 cm of snow

We plow all roads, beginning with priority routes and then secondary routes.

County roads

Private roads are not maintained by the Township or the County. Residents on private roads should consult a contractor or talk to their neighbours about winter road maintenance. Residents living on private roads may be eligible for the Private Road Grant.

Highways are maintained and plowed by Highway Maintenance Contracting Inc, a division of Coco Group.
